I cannot stand any of the candidates.

But, there is only one who I absolutely could not vote for.

I cannot imagine that we may be electing the wife of a recent POTUS.

In all of the USA, we cannot find anyone better than the wife of a recent POTUS?

We're going to elect a husband and wife to POTUS? Really?

Does nobody else think this is incredible?

Oh well, the Roman republic lasted 500 years. We're nearing 250. But, we've been losing our republic for a long, long time, already.

I think its lost, for good, honestly.

Most Americans have no idea what our Constitution does, or how or why it was ratified. They have no idea of the debate that preceded ratification of our Constitution. They have no idea why the States came together to for a General Government to do only certain limited things that the States themselves could not do.

Can't stand Trump, or Cruz, or Bernie, or Clinton. But, I cannot imagine that we are getting set to elect the wife of a recent POTUS.

Is there really nobody else? In the entire country, we have to look to the wife of a recent POTUS?

The Republic is lost. Usher in the imperial family!

Under this scenario, there would probably be no electoral college majority so it would go to Congress who would install Jeb! as our next President.

Most likely, if for some reason the GOP destroys it's easiest chance to win the White House in the last 100 years, and Hillary is elected, then no doubt that Huma will be made the Chief of Staff as a minimum. Anthony Wiener and Bill Clinton will be wing men for terrorizing the interns without concern.

Actually...I was picturing Hillary and Huma "playing politics" with each other in the Lincoln Bedroom while Bill and Anthony were off with the interns. Sorry if I made you lose lunch at that mental picture, folks.

Wouldn't be the first time a Clinton robbed the cradle like that in the WH no less. 30 years difference in their ages.

The Republican will more likely be Lying Ted or Kasich, Little Marco is dead in the water. I'm surprised and heartened that the GOP is tearing apart. Usually FOX NEWS and Limbaugh wrangle in the Tea Party sheep but it seems like Trump is their new cult leader who will lead them over the cliff.

No, it indicates blinders and lack of independent thinking on your part.

Trump and Sanders, or better said the policies they represent, complement each other in several major ways.

Several people on this forum - which is by no means reflective of the general electorate, blind and dependent - would vote either/or both Trump and Sanders as first choice, and I understand them.

The OP's point is that most likely we are going to get the de facto Establishment Party's status quo, whether we like it or not, so he is asking how many people on this forum find that disgusting to one degree or another.

That's it, really.

And more than 2/3 on this poll, even if a fraction of regular posters on this forum, have expressed some form of disgust, and that is hardly surprising.
